Blast From The Past: SNL Explains Wall Street
Just because few have captured the essence of Wall Street quite like the following "Straight talk with Global Century" SNL skit from the recent past, which reminds us that the more things change, the more they stay the same: a timely reminder in the aftermath of the FB bloodbath.
Thanks to Mike Krieger for the reminder

Stranger in a Strange Land'd
speaking of "strange", look what the NATO puppetry is up to, today (reporting to the UN puppetry?), and of course, everything was "legal", too. and did you hear? zero US casualties! none! (so, turning over sovereign control of the US military works, see?):
NATO Operation Over Libya 2011 Shows Importance of Cooperation The members of the NATO alliance believe that the operation over Libya last year, showed once again the importance of cooperation between the alliance and its partners, in particularly with the EU such connections, especially in the areas of air-to-air refuelling, medical support, maritime surveillance and training.They are marching on Geithner's office's where is the coverage?
who? NATO?
who is "they"? some prez0 job training project? with signs?
i think it's like professional wrestling, X_P: timmah gave jamie a little smack-down last week over the orthodoxy ofVolkerism, and now timmah gets a little harmless show about how "bad" he is
tyler buys into this fight theme stuff, so stay tooned...
Ya telling me wrastling ain't real ? Say it ain't so...
It's ok guys. It is being spun as errors on NASDAQ. It should be up by at least 10000% once these orders are confirmed.

i would never say that about wrestling!
my 10-y.o. son and i grew up on theHulkster; andAndre; and mMan...
...and the female star, boobs-a-GoGo, sneaking up and laying these guys out with a well-swung folding chair... or intriguing with them, saucily, for belts the size of tables, made out of shiny plastic...
since life imitates art, i'd say we're pretty well set, here, as a family...
Chief Jay Strongbow ~ October 4, 1928 – April 3, 2012 ~ RIP
In lieu of HIPAA, I did an MRI Lumbar Spine scan on The Spoiler once. He was my favourite growing up. Freak and huge, this guy.
If his jacked-up back is fake, I'd hate to see what you call "real."
Long live Chief Strongbow and long live The Spoiler!
:D
orly, good to see you back around again.
Nice new perspectives?
:-)

Really sorry to hear that. I've very fond memories of him fighting Bruno Sammartino.
They should have had muppets for an audience.
Fact is they do! ;-)

little sick of you bashing the USA, dot head
why dont you stick to bashing your own fucked up country and its evil caste system
Cognitive dissonance much?
oooooh, Cortez the killer, I'm an equal opportunity basher twit. Take your jingoistic eyes to this, just yesterday, right here...
"India is the world's most capitally in-efficient country. Electricity is it's achilles heel.
And it's stuck with jaw crushing determination to the western way, ill fitting and power hungry as it is for the miliue...
Epic disaster unfolding.
But man, if you think America has been Hopeyed, India has been drinking the Hope Kool Aide since our supposed independence. "

Now take your dim-wit, reactive, thin-skinned rayciss ass and go wrap yourself in old glory.

Take it easy curry boy!
"Lighten up Francis"... (oh wait)!
If that is the best you can do....never mind, I rest my case.
And plus, this is fight club asshole, are you ganging up? Hmmmm? Don't think Mr. JIngoistic up there can handle this "fight" alone? Breaking a RULE? Bad boy Pald, bad boy.
What a doofus, I'm sure you sat up in chair, squared your shoulders a little, nursed your whiskey and the cold steel you always have at hand as you typed out that whip-saw of an insult. Eh?
Doofus.

rU the guy who claims to have served in both the USairForce and the imperialNavy0'india?
you forgot the self-referencing link
but, you haven't lost, yet!
Please refer to my prior comment!
in my pirate-mind's eye, i frequently refer to the rack on your prior avatar, Pla_zow!
PLEASE! please me!
You must not remember the avatar before that one. His current avatar could be seen as an, uh, abstract representation of that one...
Interesting take on that. I would've thought the opposite...
His ex was Chinese.
That was naughty funny. Great to see you out and about. Lots of old timers back in these here parts.
i'm gonna come rape ur whole family you fuckin cracker
"curry boyz" are into white bitches fyi
I too didn't know that until I watched Chris Hansen's show...
I read that post of yours I believe yesterday...don't even need to click the link to confirm
then why dont you devote your superior intellect to fixing the problems in your own regional shit hole.
Racist, nothing. Compared to India the USA is a fucking Utopia.
Stick that in your curry dish, Monjabo
3 weeks in Fight Club and CorteZ the Newbie asks to have his ass handed to him. If he could find his ass with both hands.
Should have said "Sambo". One lak and lass a night!
Gentlemen, gen-tel-MEN! Now let's together turn the other cheek and say we are sorry. Ours is a universal movement of tolerance and progressive feelings toward our fellow citizens around the world. Now then, let's hold hands and sing," I'd like to teach the world to sing..." . A one'a, na'two'ah, three'ah. Eat my shorts you red dot faggot!
Gentlemen! Let's broaden our minds... Lawrence!

SNL Royale Deluxe II (cars ride demo'd via circumcision)... http://www.hulu.com/watch/2323/saturday-night-live-royal-deluxe-ii
I have seen him bash his own country, royally. All leadership, worldwide, is enthralled to TPTB. They all need a good bashing.
I'm afraid that's not entirely true. Take... Egypt. Not the same PTB are everywhere.
Glad my objectivity in pol/nation-bashing has been noticed Ms. Gracias. ;-)

I'm Gumby dammit!
Nice to meet you Cortez. Im Louis Dega, The best counterfeiter in France. National defence bonds, Circa 1929. My friend is Steve Mcqueen Aka escaped prisioner Papillion
Then stop making the US suck so much
Fat chance of that! Get it? Nation of fatties, waddling towards diabeetus? See what I did there?
Aahahahaha I slay me.
Those Reds think they will survive.
The audience should have lynched this douche CEO. Weak accepting muppets need to take revenge.
The lynching would be more satisfying, but have less comic value. It's funny because it's true. Folks keep participating, knowing it is a criminal enterprise. Take the folks still in the market on this site...
You are absolutely right. I am astounded that these " markets" are still active. Why people haven't taken their money and run is beyond me. I guess the addiction to gambling out weighs any common sense.
she said nothing about an "addiction to gambling"
is that what she "meant"?
are you sure you understood msC?
First, the markets are not as active as they look. Nobody's really there. The FaceBook IPO will be remembered ( by the survivors ) as the last tango on the Titanic.
Second, you know, this is ZeroHedge. It's not www.oh-god-the-mayans-were-right.com .
I don't want to tell you guys that I put what money I had into food and land and silver 8 years ago, and now I'm writing a simulation to figure out how many solar cells and storage batteries I need to run my ground-source heat pump.
Like Hell Boy -- I just want to fit in.
Bitchez.
We make change..that's what we do
Ah, yes, the first bank of change. How do they make money? Simple...VOLUME.
"We're not going to give you 20 million nickels. Unless that is the change solution that suits your needs. Like Mr. Bass."
What's sad is that most of the 'Hindu cows' that live in America simply enjoy laughing at themselves as this comedy skit mocks them...
What's even sadder is that the banksters & politicians KNOW THEY WILL...
I'm partial to the much earlier Python iteration...

Speaking of the past:
Welcome to the Wonderland
Warren Buffett has enjoyed tons of publicity recently as a fantasy tax advocate (as if either Warren’s company, or his daddy, Sen. Buffett, ever attempted paying their share of taxes? ? ).
Strange for a guy whose company has been in tax court forever, battling to avoid paying back taxes?
Strange for a guy who heavily and successfully lobbied against any oversight on credit derivatives when Dodd-Frank legislation was being formulated; credit derivatives are not only involved with ultra-leveraging (shadow banking) and ultra-leveraged speculation, but also tax evasion and tax avoidance, off-balance-sheet equals untaxed as does offshore translate to untaxed; and swaps are routinely used to avoid the paying of capital gains tax.
Just doesn’t make any sense, now does it?
Whatever in creation Warren Buffett is, he ain’t no tax advocate!
Nick Hanauer has recently made some noise about inequality, writing about it along with a friend, Eric Liu (Skull & Bones, Yale). Now Hanauer is the founder of the League of Education Voters, yet another Gates Foundation-funded privatization of education ploy for the upper 1%.
Just doesn’t make any sense, now does it?
Sorry, but Hanauer’s concern sounds far more like the typical re-posturing for economic warfare reasons.
Paul Krugman’s appearance at Seattle’s Town Hall was immediately sold out --- but why?
Oh lordy, the fools and witless ones believe Krugman to be a liberal, because he writes a column with a title claiming to be one?
Sorry, Charlie, but Krugman has long been in that group promoting the offshoring of America: offshoring jobs, offshoring technology, offshoring R&D work, offshoring investment --- that is, the dismantling of the American economy.
Now Krugman repositions himself as a “liberal” – sure he’s against austerity; anyone who isn’t has self-identified as the enemy of the people, either a member of lackey of the banksters!
Except, what good does more stimulus do without addressing the structural problems which resulted from the offshoring of everything --- the disinvestment and defunding and privatizing of America?
Just doesn’t make any sense, now does it?
Actually, it really primarily aids the banksters.
The last federal stimulus, a goodly portion going overseas thanks to waivers signed by then-Secretary of Commerce, Gary Locke, now Ambassador to China, went to keeping public service employees employed (police, firefighters, teachers, etc.), and those people who earned over $50,000 per year tended to vote Tea Party goons, who then stopped the revenue sharing, causing those public service union people to become unemployed! (Just examine the exit polling data from the Wisconsin voters who elected Gov. Walker --- sure hope they finally learned their lesson, but I seriously doubt it!)
We definitely do require a massive federal stimulus --- along with a massive restructuring of the US economy --- it was dismantled and restructured away from a consumer-based society to a fantasy finance structure, benefitting the banksters --- high time people realized this!
Finally, a few years back, there was publicity around President Kennedy’s assassination for some reason, and NPR ran one of those purely propaganda snarky stories of theirs.
A columnist from South Carolina was retiring from writing his “The Rambler” column and related a supposedly “chilling” anecdotal vignette about how, one time among his ramblings, he met a woman who said she had been stationed in Japan with Lee Harvey Oswald and she stated that Oswald spent all his spare time practicing at the Marine Corps rifle range.
Besides being at complete variance with statements of those who really were stationed with Oswald in Japan, there is simply no way in Hell that females were allowed at USMC firing ranges in the 1950s --- NO WAY, NO HOW, NO EVER!
Just never happened --- yet NPR was pushing that fictional piece as fact!
Just doesn’t make any sense, now does it?
It's called co-opting, whereby the bad guys, the fraudsters, take over and frame the discussions, which inevitably leads to their framing of the "solutions."
Sadly, it works when everyone remains ignorant!

Great material.
The rich and powerful control global governance,
they have done nothing but grow them geometrically the last however many centuries,
but there are still people out there who believe big governance is somehow for the people.
Just mind numbing.

"You knew in advance about 9/11?"........Basically. Classic
So, what is the deal with precious metals today?
They weigh precisely the same.
Perfect. Gonna buy som' more.
Complimentary to this is the Whitest Kids You Know skit for a political ad by fictitious Clint Webb... absolutely dead on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsWLBOyEv6o
Pretty funny. I'd vote for an honest asshole over a dishonest prick.
And I raise your stakes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=Q2BfqDUPL1I
Especially check last 5 seconds, which bank is named? :)
Buy, bitches!
Yea, these are all the dumb ones. the smart ones have their life's savings in banks paying 0.001% APR indirectly holding completely worthless sovereign securities.
[G]lobal [S]entury.
Best SNL ever.
I was disappointed she did not kill the prick.
They should have had for the CEO advisor part Mini Me (Blankfein)... perfect fit.
Now can we cross the 200 day moving average to the downside. There ain't no more retail money to steal.
But the FED might go back into the business of transferring money to the banksters through stocks so who knows.
BRING BACK (PROF.) BILL BLACK

Very funny, in a crude kinda way...
Almost as good as the Dillon Edwards SNL skit...www.clownpenis.fart

A very funny skit. Never seen it before. Hope they do one on FB.
...eh, they almost got it. To make it real they should have the guys last lines be, ''now if you will pardon me, I am late for the child sacrifice with Rosemary's Baby and the Suicide Vampire Squid of the Great Wal Mart of China''.

The FB debacle is a kick in the balls of the fucking con-artist at MS and the other banks. After the dot com crash and all the 'fuck-thy-neighbor' moves over the past 20 years it seems the public finally either got wise to the act or just ran out of cash. Someone at MS is in the middle of packing his/her desk because of the FB IPO and the scammers are scrambling to figure out how to screw people in this new environment.
I do hope you are right.
That skit is funny because it's rooted in truth...which is always the best comedy
I love a company that has integrity. LOLOL
SNL does it again. Their political satire is the only thing on there worth watching any more.
lol coincidentally BI posted a piece about Citi bullish on JPM:
